While playing on my realm I have found when I log off and back on it will occasionally rollback my progress. For example, once I went mining logged off then came back on and it set me back to before I had gone mining

Hi there!
Realms seems to be having tons and tons of issues after 1.16 has released. However, this bug has been around for nearly three years already, and this seems to be a duplicate of REALMS-401/REALMS-4218.
Make sure to do a quick search for your bug before posting it, and then vote for it, comment on it, and follow it. This is the best way for it to be prioritized by Mojang. Making a duplicate post means more work for the volunteers who help out to moderate and clean things up for the developers to look at and fix what needs to be fixed.
Also, this is a Realms-specific issue. For better results and for people who understand Realms better to see your issue, in the future, please post bugs specifically for Realms in the Realms project.
Thank you for your report!

I am experiencing this same issue, as are other players on my (Java) realm. In several cases, someone hsa logged on, played for two hours, then logged off. Then when logging on the next time, they find that the server acts as if that entire two hour play session never occurred.
